Hello, I am trying to save a .gif movie using movie3d from the package {rgl}. I am using the following code combined with the globe example on the ?movie3d page. I've installed ImageMagick and the directory seems to be working properly, i.e. when I do Sys.getenv("PATH"), C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ImageMagick-6.7.0-Q16 shows up.
#### library(rgl) open3d() lat <- matrix(seq(90,-90, len=50)*pi/180, 50, 50, byrow=TRUE) long <- matrix(seq(-180, 180, len=50)*pi/180, 50, 50) r <- 6378.1 # radius of Earth in km x <- r*cos(lat)*cos(long) y <- r*cos(lat)*sin(long) z <- r*sin(lat) persp3d(x, y, z, col="white", texture=system.file("textures/world.png",package="rgl"), specular="black", axes=FALSE, box=FALSE, xlab="", ylab="", zlab="", normal_x=x, normal_y=y, normal_z=z) #I run the above, note the device ID and then enter the following with rgl.cur(1) if my device ID is 1. movie3d(par3dinterp(par3dsave(params = c("userMatrix", "scale", "zoom", "FOV"), times = FALSE, dev = rgl.cur(1))), duration = 5, fps = 10, movie = "movie", frames = movie, dir=tempdir(), type = "gif") #The par3d window pops up, I move the globe around a bit and press "record" a few times. Then when I press "quit", I get the following error: Error in sprintf("%s%03d.png", frames, i) : object 'movie' not found #### Sorry if I've made a silly mistake; I'm kind of a newb. I haven't found any record of this same issue on the web. Many Thanks!
